Summary:
Nice layout. A lot of elevated teeboxes. I played Creek and Ridge courses. Well maintained. The greens the fastest i have tried (same grass as Pinehurst), were probably running around 11 on stimpmeter.

Customer Service:
Very good. Starter hooked me up with some other guys in 10 minutes (no single play allowed).

Summary:
I'am a little biased as I am a member at this course. Probably one of the fastest greens in Orange County - me likey. Course can play 5 1/2hours on weekend surprisingly for a premier course. There are some holes with elevated greens and if you are short, your ball will roll right back so take an extra club. Fun and challenging, it has some nice looking holes - like the downhill par 3 (creek) or the island par 3 (valley). Water holes and sand bunkers outline this course. If you have a choice when making your reservation, my favorite is ridge-valley. Courses in Orange County are overpriced and if you paid $125 for this course, boy did you get ripped.

Customer Service:
depends who is working that day.

Summary:
Course is a nice layout, 27 holes, in very good condition. Unfortunately, it is just not at all challenging. Max distance goes at around 6400 yds. Generous landing areas, and the greens are usually the fastest in the area (and certainly the toughest). There is some water to dodge.

It is nice enough, but I just can't get excited. And for $125, I want some excitement.

Summary:
This is a great layout and design by Jack Nicklaus. There are 3 nine's to choose from and the course has plenty of different types of holes to choose from. I played there shortly after US Open Qualifying and the greens were among the best I have putted on (very fast though)

Similar Courses Played:
Double sided range with good targets but had to hit off mats and long hitters can't use driver

Summary:
A fun, well maintained course. The layout is very forgiving with wide fairways and some holes that run parallel so you can even find a really errant drive. They do a good job of making each hole interesting even though it's not as challenging as a lot of other courses in this price range. The tee boxes and greens are well maintained.

Customer Service:
